 An ocean current is any permanent or continuous, directed movement of ocean water that flows in one of the Earth's oceans. Ocean Currents.

Ocean Currents What Are Currents? Current: a large stream of moving water that flows through the oceans. Currents carry water over very long distances.

From My Back Yard to the Poles Finding the Fingerprints of Climate Change with GIS Betsy Youngman Phoenix Country Day School

Climate change is everywhere in the media but is abstract to students.

GIS brings students and data together.

Students enjoy discovery of patterns.

The ice cap is changing in both Greenland and Antarctica.

As Fresh Water Hits Atlantic, Climate Changes- All Things Considered, June 16, 2005 (Illustration by Jack Cook, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)

In the North Atlantic, there are dramatic decreases in ocean salinity and the speed of the Gulf Stream.

Increasingly technological, students are used to multi-modality learning.

Visual learning illuminates ideas. Students construct understanding in unique ways.

How can one connect students to science?

Authentic projects engage and motivate students.

Students are motivated to learn by investigating issues of concern. Our research question: Where is the kelp found and does this change from year to year?
